[lojban] game; performer

[MorphemeAddict@wmconnect.com]

While trying to find an answer to the recent 'sports scores' post, I discovered that jbovlaste seems to have no way to express the noun 'game'.  It gave >ci'erkei< as "play a game", but I couldn't get a place structure for it.  Is 'game' >se ci'erkei<?

I also wonder:  How is >le tigni< different from >le tigypre<?

tigni:
Definition: x1 performs x2 [performance] for/before audience x3

tigypre:
Definition: x1 is a perform-person with performance x2 with performance audience x3.

These two words seem to have identical meanings, except the lujvo specifies that the performer is a person, while the gismu allows animals, robots, whatever, as the performer.  Is that right?
